A friend's sister and I had a conversation once that made me cry blood. Sometimes I think our schools have failed us.

We were talking about WW2, when she decides to chime in

Me: It was definitely interesting reading about churchill
Her: Who's that? Wait, he's that guy in star wars right?
Me: What?
Her: That black guy
Me: You mean Samuel L Jackson??
Her: Yeah!
Me: Uh...Winston churchill was the prime minister of England during WW2
Her: really? I got those 2 mixed up all the time. Blah, whatever then.

Yes, I see that a tall black young man in star wars and a short white old man in WW2 are easily mistaken for each other.
